Any possibility for more Japanese pre-dreadnoughts ?

Hello,

Considering the current japanese craze of 1/350 World War II subjects from the combined fleet, do you think we can ever hope to see more 1/350 injection Japanese warships from 1894-95 and 1905-05 wars ? For example a Fuji class battleship, Armstrong's "greyhound" cruiser Yoshino and/or one the powerful Japanese armored cruisers like Iwate ? It's even awesome to think, just because with those kits you can make conversions to warships of many other nations like Latin American navies or the Royal Sovereign class pre-dreads. Let's keep fingers crossed for the japanese kit industry's enthousiasm shall spread to earlier periods of Nihon Kaigun..

p.s: Hasegawa's Mikasa can be converted with little effort to a Canopus class battleship or with some more modest effort, to a Majestic class battleship. Flagman models' coming Yarrow built "30 knotter" type early Russian destroyers likewise can become British and Japanese ships just with a change of flags too.

Don't surrender the ship !
